The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics became a separate University unit in 1952 as a consequence of the division of the Faculty of Electromechanics; initially, its name was the Faculty of Mechanization of Mining and Metallurgy. The present name was given in 1952. At the moment, there are 300 staff members, including 200 university teachers and 3000 students at the Faculty. For many years the faculty has been dealing mainly with mechanics, machinery construction and exploitation, automatics and robotics. In recent years, the number of patents and implementation agreements has been significant. The faculty closely collaborates with the extractive and metallurgical industries together with their technical base and a considerable number of energy and heat energy plants. Especially, the collaboration with the following companies is very close: KGHM Polska Miedź SA, SKANSKA SA, SIEMENS, IOS KRAKOW, MISUBISHI ELECTRIC, PIMOT Warsaw, DELPHI Automotive Systems. Thanks to our highly-qualified staff, the faculty can collaborate with worldwide recognized educational centres in the EU, Latin America and the USA. Our students obtain grants and can study in Germany, France or Great Britain which results in two diplomas - one from the AGH-UST and the  other - from the foreign university.

The broad profile of studies enables our graduates to work in any industrial branch in Poland and their sometimes spectacular careers are the best proof of their qualifications. The faculty is changing constantly, following the needs of the transforming economy and the expectation of the candidates. Mechatronics is our latest offer. It is a new, interdisciplinary branch which combines mechanics, electronics and computer science. Mechatronics deals with products of very high functional and technological integration of their mechanical, electromagnetic and electronic parts.
